Domaine Frédéric Esmonin is a family-run estate in Burgundy’s Gevrey-Chambertin, owned by Frédéric Esmonin and his parents, André and Michele. The domaine farms old-vine Grand Cru and Premier Cru parcels, including vines over 50 years old in Ruchottes-Chambertin. It follows lutte raisonnée, using minimal chemical treatments and avoiding additives unless the vines are threatened. In the cellar, Frédéric Esmonin emphasizes gentle extraction and aging in French oak. The estate is best known for its Grand Cru holdings, while other parcels are sold to négociants.
